National Resistance Movement officials in Rukungiri District have called on President Yoweri Museveni to address the detention of Col. Kizza Besigye, cautioning that the matter threatens party performance in the upcoming general elections. Leaders gathered at the district council hall raised concerns that voters frequently demand the opposition figure's freedom during campaign events, providing rivals with tactical advantages in his home constituency of Rukungiri Municipality.

District mobilizer Brian Tumukunde presented resolutions requesting separate scheduling for executive committee sessions, prioritization of party organizers, adequate mobilization funding, expanded youth participation, and Besigye's immediate release. Vice Chairperson for Western Uganda, Asiimwe Jonard Akiiki, pledged to escalate the issue to authorities and brief the president while urging local leaders to emphasize development achievements rather than political slogans.

Akiiki highlighted infrastructure improvements, security enhancements, educational access expansion, and livelihood programs as accomplishments requiring protection through sustained governance.
